1/The Justice Department has moved to drop the last remaining January 6 insurrection criminal matters: the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys seditious conspiracy cases. Trump commuted their sentences when he returned to office, which got them out of prison, but it didn’t erase their convictions.

Extremely normal and fine for a company to put this in a public statement

the correct answer to someone with vaccine hesitancy is “what’s wrong with you why are you such a baby?” it’s anxiety that’s not grounded in reality

So if someone opts in, and has taken photos of friends, relatives, kids, even strangers, they’re “giving permission” on behalf of all those people. So lots of people have no say in this.

The whole “opt in” thing was always a charade but it’s approaching terminal nonsense at this point.

I realize that probably no one under 30 remembers this, but one of the biggest knocks on Bron early in his career was his lack of anything resembling a post-up game. Lol.

The Rockets are getting cooked by LeBron and his Uber driver

"Airport Lounge" is one of those concepts like "Burning Man" where I have no idea how that fandom gets so worked up about it.

I think if you put "influencer" in your resume or bio, every child under the age of 10 should get to hit you like a pinata

A coda: the parachute is still up there.

the us is negotiating with the wrong people, which has been apparent this entire time

Lebron now playing in his 293rd playoff game, which is 34 more than the guy in second place (Derek Fisher) and *96* more than the next active player (Al Horford).

A plurality of all social interactions in the Twin Cities is you having a delightful conversation with someone at a mutual friends gimmick party, while unaware that you've been enjoying each other's social media personalities for years.

one day I would like some brave group to calculate which home broadcast spends the most time talking about Not Baseball

Grocery employee: I remember you from last year.

Judge Orders Colorado to Stop Throwing Prisoners in Solitary for Refusing to Work - Bolts Years after voters amended the state's constitution to ban forced labor in prison, a court ruling could finally make Colorado change how prison guards "compel and coerce" work.

Nadia refused a prison kitchen shift in Colorado. So she was locked in solitary for 30 days. Colorado voters banned prison slavery in 2018. But it continued. This year, a judge ordered the state to stop locking people in solitary for refusing to work.

Maddux was convinced no hitter could tell the speed of a pitch with any meaningful accuracy. To demonstrate, he pointed at a road a quarter-mile away and said it was impossible to tell if a car was going 55, 65 or 75 mph unless there was another car nearby to offer a point of reference. “You just can’t do it,” he said. Sometimes hitters can pick up differences in spin. They can identify pitches if there are different releases points or if a curveball starts with an upward hump as it leaves the pitcher’s hand. But if a pitcher can change speeds, every hitter is helpless, limited by human vision. “Except,” Maddux said, “for that [expletive] Tony Gwynn.”

Had a "remembering a guy" moment about Greg Maddux, and one of my top three baseball quotes:

Ideal relationship dynamic

A lot has been written about Anthropic holding back Claude Mythos for safety because it’s too good at hacking and finding security bugs.

There’s also a simpler reason. If they’re already struggling to reliably serve current models, they likely lack the capacity for a more resource hungry model.
